Excluding List of Figures / List of Tables from the Table of Contents (LaTex, report class)

Question

I am completely new to LaTeX, and I used the template provided by my school to write my dissertation. Now the dissertation is done, but there are bits and pieces of formatting issues I need to address. One of many is to remove items denoted in Roman numerals from the Table of Contents, which are List of Figures and List of Tables (see below).

There are many posts about adding the LoF and LoT to the ToC, but not deleting them from the ToC (or if there is, I am having trouble finding it). What I have now is:

\usepackage{titletoc}
...
\setcounter{tocdepth}{5}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\tableofcontents 
\listoffigures  
\listoftables  

How do I keep the LoF and LoT where they are now (i.e. right after the ToC), but remove them from the ToC?

Sorry if I didn't provide enough code for you to be able to see what's happening here - if so, please let me know. Thank you so much!!

Answer 1

Apparently, guthesis is Georgetown University Thesis package file, using \pseudochapter{\listfigurename} and \pseudochapter{\listtablename} for adding the LoF and LoT to the ToC.

(The guthesis.sty can be found in a .zip bundle here: GU Thesis LaTeX template)

Since one should not edit .sty files, a \xpatchcmd can applied, kicking out the 'faulty' usage.
